Monumenti e immagini non ci parlano da soli. La comprensione delle opere d’arte di epoche lontane richiede la conoscenza dei presupposti culturali che le hanno motivate, trasformandole in un valore sociale. Questi elementi si possono acquisire, per l’arte medievale, attraverso i testi narrativi, poetici e teologici che li trasmettono, oltre che nelle testimonianze di artigiani, artisti e architetti. Il testo dell’immagine, utilizzabile anche per corsi universitari di Fonti dell’arte medievale o di Letteratura latina medievale per i Beni Culturali, affronta questioni rilevanti dell’iconologia artistica medievale tramite un confronto diretto con i testi latini, di cui si offre spesso una prima traduzione. Dal drammatico conflitto sul culto delle immagini alle concezioni del fenomeno artistico, dalla simbologia della natura alle storie di santi, dai meccanismi delle allegorie bibliche alla valorizzazione del ruolo di artisti e artigiani, dalle curiosità archeologiche nei resoconti di viaggio alle memorie di architetti, dalle normative monastiche sull’arte all’ispirazione politica negli affreschi dei palazzi pubblici, i testi a carattere culturale sono la documentazione indispensabile per un approccio iconotestuale che si integri alle informazioni archivistiche, alle descrizioni materiali e alle valutazioni stilistiche.

For those within the fields of art history and Byzantine studies, Professor Henry Maguire needs no introduction. His publications transformed the way art historians approach medieval art through his insightful integration of rhetoric, poetry and non-canonical objects into the study of Byzantine art. His ground-breaking studies of Byzantine art that consider the natural world, magic and imperial imagery, among other themes, have redefined the ways medieval art is interpreted. From notable monuments to small-scale and privately used objects, Maguire’s work has guided a generation of scholars to new conclusions about the place of art and its function in Byzantium. In this volume, 23 of Henry Maguire’s colleagues and friends have contributed papers in his honour, resulting in studies that reflect the broad range of his scholarly interests.

"This handbook offers a wide-ranging introduction to the richness and diversity of the arts in the Byzantine world. It includes thirty-eight essays by international authors, from prominent researchers to emerging scholars, on various issues and media. Discussions consider art created for religious purposes, to enhance and beautify the Orthodox liturgy and worship space, as well as art made to serve in royal and domestic contexts. While Byzantium is defined as the years 330-1453 CE, some chapters treat the aftermath and influence of Byzantine art on later periods. Arts covered include buildings and objects from the Eastern Mediterranean region, including the Balkans, Russia, North Africa, and the Near East. The volume brings together object-based considerations of themes and monuments which form the backbone of art history, with considerations drawing on many different methodologies-sociology, semiotics, anthropology, archaeology, reception theory, deconstruction theory, among others-all in an up-to-date synthesis of scholarship on Byzantine art and architecture. The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Art and Architecture is a comprehensive overview of a rich field of study, offering a window into the world of this distinct and fascinating period of art"--
